Wells Score for pulmonary embolism (PE).

Wells Score for pulmonary embolism (PE).
The mnemonic is: Don’t die, tell the team to calculate criteria! The first letters in the saying correspond to a criteria for diagnosis. If the first letters are the same, they also have the same numerical point value for calculating the total sore.
Don’t (DVT symptoms) 3 points   
Die (Diagnosis most likely PE) 3 points 
 Tell (Tachycardia) 1.5 points  The Team (Three days [at least] of immobilization, or surgery in the past Thirty days) 1.5 points 
 To (Thromboembolism in the past [DVT or PE]) 1.5 points 
 Calculate (Coughing up blood [hemoptysis]) 1 point   Criteria (Cancer) 1 point

This is what the scores mean:
> 6 High probability of PE
2-6 Moderate probability of PE
< 2 Low probability of PE
The modified Wells Criteria is a bit simpler:
> 4 PE is likely
≤ 4 PE is unlikely
